When PSV visit the Emirates Stadium tomorrow evening, it'll be the first time Ruud van Nistelrooy has faced Arsenal since 2006. Back in his playing days, the Dutch striker was involved in a couple of famous encounters involving Arsenal, scoring two goals in 12 appearances and missing a vital penalty in September 2003.
Just shy of 20 years later, the 46-year-old returns to North London as manager of Dutch side PSV Eindhoven and will be looking to overtake Mikel Arteta's side in their Europa League group. The game was originally scheduled to take place in the middle of September but was postponed due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Tomorrow's clash at the Emirates Stadium is the first of two meetings between the two sides in a week, with Arsenal travelling to the Netherlands next Thursday following their Premier League clash with Southampton. It's also the first time the pair will meet since March 2007.
